Gyno Girl: Protecting One Pelvis at a Time with Dr. Sameena Rahman

Dr. Sameena Rahman, aka Gyno Girl, joins Medical Morons for a full episode on women's health, sexual medicine, menopause care, and the business of medicine. Which means yes, I sat down with my father to discuss vulvas. Professionally. For an hour. (Spoiler - He thought the anatomical model on her shelf was a signed Chicago Bulls basketball. It was not.) Dr. Rahman is a board certified OB-GYN and sexual medicine specialist in Chicago and the founder of the GSM Collective. She went from academic medicine to hospital based work at Northwestern to private practice, and she recently converted to a concierge model. She sits on the board of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health and has a book coming out in September called Brown Girls’ Disease, a guide to sexual health and empowerment through a South Asian lens. In this episode we cover: * Why she chose gynecology and how she found her way into sexual medicine and menopause care * How a private practice actually gets built, including billing, overhead, and the brutal first year * What a concierge practice looks like and how the membership model is structured * Why so many women get gaslit about pelvic pain, painful sex, and vulvovaginal symptoms * Endometriosis, birth control masking symptoms, egg freezing, and what to ask in your late twenties and thirties * How Gyno Girl started (Shoutout to Scrubs) * My father asking what the Mona Lisa Touch is, against his own better judgment Find Dr. Rahman: Website: thegsmcollective.com Instagram @gynogirl Podcast: Gyno Girl Presents Sex, Drugs and Hormones Pre-order her book: https://www.amazon.com/Brown-Girls-Disease-Empowerment-Through-ebook/dp/B0GX3435CG/ref=sr_1_1?tag=scribemedia0a-20&crid=HQ3B795W4A43&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PoRBxcZDo2h921VJcCGZ5tUSakRyS1N-7j4jX5UveUfGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.8h_ClRToXGGbwrAio3QRrFQPq_12r92XNz1TqT2PaGQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=sameena%20rahman&qid=1779449469&sprefix=sameena%20rahma,aps,611&sr=8-1&geniuslink=true Follow Medical Morons @MedicalMoronsPod on Instagram and TikTok!
